USB 1 is right below the opticle in correct? its wall mounted and i cant see back there very well

yes and it's marked (HDD) so it should be fine with larger sticks. The message you are getting (immediate fail) means either it is not reading the stick or the file is misnamed or it's in the wrong folder. Make sure it does not have a double extension, windows sometimes does this if you are not showing extensions.

\\PDP_LOGIC\\LOGIC.bin

i see the extension. i can read the usb through th tv. like as if i were going to view pictures on it. is the us supposed to be formatted a certain way? is the usb itself supposed to be call PDP_LOGIC or am i supposed to make a folder called PDP_LOGIC (thats what i did).

im felling pretty stupid since i seem to be the only one having these issues

So what is the process to update the logic board on a PN64D550? Which .bin file should be used? I have the emulator communicating with my TV via the wifi USB adapter (the 550 doesn't have built in wifi). I'll give it a go if I can get the specifics. I updated the tv FW already. Didn't get optimization and have 1019.5.

the only way i noticed is i had the pointer hovering over the folder and the little pop up windo had "LOGIC.bin.bin" in it. so when you rename the .bin file, just type"LOGIC" and hit enter not "LOGIC.bin" correct?

It is becoming clear that 59 or 64D7000 models with an alpha suffix software version like T-MST5AUSC-1015.0, BT-G, will have to use the 64DS_ITOless_Deepblack.bin file. This will yield a result of:
Logic SW Version: 11-11-04
Logic SW CheckSum: 0xE09B

59 or 64D7000 models without an alpha suffix software version like T-MST5AUSC-1015.0, will have to use the 64DS_ITO_Deepblack.bin file. This will yield a result of:
Logic SW Version: 11-11-04
Logic SW CheckSum: 0x3796

EDIT: I'm waiting for more data to verify the above.

Hey Larry,

Thanks so much for all the help man. I've used your calibrations and your advice about our model. This is one instance however, that you seem to be incorrect. Well, at least with my tv (64D7000FFXZA from 11/11). I did the update today:

Initial version:
T-MST5AUSC-1015.0, BT-G, 11-06-07, 0x2E12

The ITOless bin file kept giving me the "no match" error message. I tried it on 2 different USB sticks and even re-downloaded the file. Once I tried the ITO version it upgraded fine. The tv indicated "upgrading", however it didn't show "optimizing" before the tv reset. I ended up with the following version:

11-11-04, 0x3796

I tried updating the spreadsheet, but for some reason it had me set to read only. I haven't had a chance to really look and see if it's cleared up the pops but I'll let you guys know as I evaluate.

P.S. I think I read some people concerned that the update would reset all your calibration settings. I don't think its the update that did it. In order to check the fw by entering the sm you have to hit "info" followed by "factory". I think if you hit "factory", too late after you hit "info", it doesn't recognize the pattern and just does a factory reset of the calibration settings. Can't say for sure though.
